Bariatric surgery
Today, the majority of Americans are either overweight or obese. Obesity is undisputedly the single most important contributor to increased disease and mortality among Americans.
In recent years bariatric surgery has increased as a treatment to combat obesity. Bariatric surgery can achieve significant and sustainable weightloss. But, bariatric surgery should only be considered as a last resort after diet and fitness is not working for losing weight. After a bariatric surgery, the stomach can hold only very small amounts of food without severe consequences such as sickness, vomiting, and pain.
Bariatric is major surgery and generally safe, but no operation, even the simplest of procedures, is without risk. The risk associated with surgery can include postoperative complication, micronutrient deficiencies, and late postoperative depression. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are commonly seen after bariatric surgery. For this reason, bariatric patients should get bariatric vitamins and supplements. There are a huge selection of vitamins and supplements for bariatric patients available out there.
